An Open Letter To My College "Framily"

You could say that we are all friends, but you wouldn't be scratching the surface.

An Open Letter To My College "Framily"
tv guide

To my college framily,

With so many memories, I only could dream of where to begin. You are the ones who continuously pick me up when I am feeling down, share countless amounts of laughter, and more experiences than I could imagine possible.

I remember the first time we met. I was walking into my first class of the new semester, not really knowing too many people around me. I look for the first open seat that I can find, and quietly await the start of class, unaware of anyone around me. Towards the end of the class, filled mainly with silence and short banter here and there, you guys grab my attention. We being our friendship with a few witty remarks, and couple giggles here and there, then go about our days as usual. What began with basic conversations slowly progressed to other shared classes, a few lunch breaks, and suddenly we are spilling all of our secrets and laughing uncontrollably about who knows what anymore.

But when did it go from just a common friendship to a full blown college framily? I can recall a time when we were all sitting together and the time turns from fun to sour instantly. I can't exactly remember what occurred, but what I can tell you about are the first people to rush to my rescue when I felt as though everything was crashing down. As my college framily, you all are there regardless of the time of day or the hectic schedules that overcome you. When I began my college career, I was just a loud mouth girl from the middle of nowhere Indiana, with no idea what was about to happen with these next four years. Meeting you and creating this bond is unlike any experience I have encountered until now. As a framily we are there for each other, regardless of the situation. You all love me for my true, unapologetic self, and I feel for you just the same. You all mean more to me than any friendship has, and knowing that the bond of our college framily is so strong is what has made these years so pivotal to me. Even long after college is over, you all will forever remain in my heart, as well as in my life I hope.


Love you to the moon and back,

Your Forever Framily Member

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
